Budget fashion retailer Lefties is expected to launch on the UK high street in 2026.
The brand’s owner Inditex – the parent company of retailers including Zara, Bershka and Pull&Bear – has mulled at least four locations for Lefties stores in the UK, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The business is reportedly considering sites at Kent’s Bluewater shopping centre, Essex’s Lakeside shopping centre and London’s Westfield and Oxford Street.
Inditex did not comment on the specifics of its plans for the market, Bloomberg reported.
